Thanks again for all your fantastic reviews, the feedback to Duet has been extraordinary and we love all of you. Keep an eye out for our next update, we’ll be adding even more Twitch to this twitchy game of ours.

1.2.1

May 8, 2014

iPad 1 and iOS 5 support restored! Sorry to everyone that could not continue their “Duet addiction” over the past week!

Due to a bug with the Quickening leaderboard in the previous update we have split the Quickening finesse scores between two boards: Quickening Part 1 and Quickening Part 2. The former tracks Quickening I, II and III. The latter tracks Quickening IV, V, VI.

A small but significant bug with the collision detection was introduced in the last update which has now been rectified. Stage Bargaining IV should now be perfectible again. Thank you Curi42 and AW Prince for your help on solving this!

Also, don’t forget to try listening to the new voice acting from the previous update. Duet soundtrack composer Tim Shiel has collaborated with friend and musician Jojo Petrina to create the voice of Duet - all narrative lines in the game are now spoken in English. Voice over can be disabled in settings if you prefer.

We realise a lot of you just reviewed version 1.2.0 but if you have time please consider reviewing this “bug fix focused” update! Enjoy.

1.2.0

Apr 22, 2014

** We're aware of a bug with this update for 1st Generation iPads. We have a fix we'll be releasing as soon as possible!

Say Hello to The Voice. Duet soundtrack composer Tim Shiel has collaborated with friend and musician Jojo Petrina to create the voice of Duet - all narrative lines in the game are now spoken in English.

We’ve added a variety of new extreme challenges to Duet’s B-Side:- “Revolution”, a set of challenges focused on spinning and twisting blocks. You will lose control.- “Quickening”, includes extremely fast but quick challenges.- “Resilience”, is focused on longer challenges that are endurance based. If Quickening is a sprint then Resilience is a marathon.- “Transcendence”, originally part of the A-Side. These stages have been relocated and expanded with an additional challenge.

All new challenges include Game Center achievements as well and new finesse leaderboards.

The difficulty of the final Acceptance stages have been tweaked. Acceptance VI has been relocated to the new Resilience area and replaced with a brand new Acceptance VI stage that is more appropriate for the player’s skill at that point.

If you’ve already achieved ‘perfection’ in Acceptance VI you will keep that ‘perfection’ badge in the new challenges.

Lastly, some bug fixes and a new option to toggle the vocal narration on or off.

Enjoy and please review the update if you have time.

Enjoy and please review the update if you have time.

Editors' Notes

So much more than a simple action game, Duet elevates the act of dodging falling blocks into something captivating, beautiful, even profound. A stirring soundtrack and striking visuals almost guarantee you’ll lose yourself in each stage, and as you learn the patterns and find yourself avoiding obstacles by sheer instinct, you’ll feel an overwhelming surge of triumph.
